I was thinking that if say a 5,000lbs (odd) specially designed bomb was to be dropped in the eye of a cyclone and made to explode at the right height inside the cyclone, wouldn’t the enormous outward exploding pressure from the center of the eye send the cyclone into disarray and perhaps even stop it?

I think you just have to disrupt the continuity the cyclone has with the ground. If it was not anchored to the Earth's surface it would collapse or dissipate skywards ....

I thought cyclones and hurricanes were pretty much warm and cold air currents colliding and forming a vortex…

Isn’t continuity with the ground more a tornado/twister property?

Maybe learn to thank Greece occasionally ...

Alpha? Omega? Hurricane names may go Greek

Only 4 names left before Greek alphabet will be used

There are only four names left for tropical storms and hurricanes this year: Stan, Tammy, Vince and Wilma. After that, names switch to the 24 letters of the Greek alphabet: Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta and so on through Omega, if needed.

That has never happened before in roughly 60 years of regularly named Atlantic storms.Source: msnbc.msn

TYPHOEUS (or Typhon) was a monstrous immortal storm-giant who was defeated and imprisoned by Zeus in the pit of Tartaros. He was the source of devastating storm winds which issued forth from that dark nether realm.

Later poets described him as a volcanic-daimon, trapped beneath the body of Mount Aitna in Sicily. In this guise he was closely identified with the Gigante Enkelados.

Typhoeus was so huge that his head was said to brush the stars. He appeared man-shaped down to the thighs, with two coiled vipers in place of legs. Attached to his hands in place of fingers were a hundred serpent heads, fifty per hand. He was winged, with dirty matted hair and beard, pointed ears, and eyes flashing fire. According to some he had two hundred hands each with fifty serpents for fingers and a hundred heads, one in human form with the rest being heads of bulls, boars, serpents, lions and leopards. As a volcano-daimon, Typhoeus hurled red-hot rocks at the sky and storms of fire boiled from his mouth.
